Kaleidoscope of color

NASA, Spitzer and Hubble telescopes show a false-color image of a giant jet of particles being shot of out a supermassive black hole. It is thought this jet is stretching across 100,000 light-years of space, which NASA reports is as big as our Milky Way Galaxy. The color shows the jet’s different light waves. There is a supermassive black hole at the center of our galaxy called Sagittarius A. NASA believes it has a mass equal to 4 million of our suns.
